Fall Protection Equipment

Hi everyone! I'm a student doing a project on fall protection equipment. I have some questions and hope it's okay to ask them here! :)

Do you use fall protection equipment? What type of equipment do you use? How/where do you buy your equipment from? Which brands do you rely on and why? Ever had any issues or problems?

Thanks in advance!

As told by benefits of neuromuscular massage Self-therapy is clearly something you can do on your own to cure depression or anxiety without needing any formal education or certification. In fact, in less urgent situations it can be a more reasonable and economical option.

As mentioned by High-quality Sports Equipment Items like gloves, safety goggles, shoes, earplugs or muffs, hard hats, respirators, or coveralls, vests, and full body suits are examples of personal protection equipment.

Nice! Woody the manufacturer.

I use a dry climbing rope with Petzl ascenders for me. since this setup hasn't been tested for 6000 lbs, I use Miller harnesses and rope for crew. They are way more awkward than the setup I use.

I have some reusable rope attachment systems that I sometimes use, but I usually use a Simpson nailing plate that I have bent into an attachment bracket. They are less than $2 each, so I can afford to leave them. They are small enough that I only have to remove one tile to attach them. If I get a safety inspection, the inspector has never climbed up to inspect it and asks what kind it is and I honestly tell him it's a Miller attachment plate. Sometimes it's handy when your last name is the same as a safety equipment company.

No fall arrest systems used here. BTW, fall arrest and fall protection are two different animals. Roof medic pictured 'fall arrest'. It's meant to arrest your fall after you go over the edge and before you hit the ground.

I use Petzl Climbing gear from Big Rock Supply. It's positioning gear which is fall protection.

I prefer the Navajo Harness, 1/2" Arborist Roof and Petzl I'D for work and play.

Nikki- We mostly used the Titan fall protection- most of our use was for commercial and not too many steep applications like Twills. One of the biggest reasons was the ease from our supplier- just call and order.

Thanks twill59! Any reason in particular why you chose to buy those brands and prefer them?

And by SRL do you mean self-retracting line? Sorry if that's a silly question :blush:

Hi twill59! I go to York University, a school in Toronto. :)
